Engine Clock by Ugears - Working Mechanical Table Clock with Automotive Styling
They say a fine engine runs like clockwork—Ugears flips the idea on its head with the Engine Clock: an operational mechanical tabletop clock that runs and looks like a car engine. Uniting horological escapements with motorsport styling, this model displays the time in an unprecedented format: hours on an automotive speedometer dial and minutes on a tachometer rev counter.
Engine Kinematics & Retrograde Minute Action
A true triumph of functional kinetic clockmaking:
- Animated Piston Block: Mounted on the top deck, miniature engine pistons pump rhythmically in sync with every beat of the balance pendulum.
- Retrograde Minute Indicator: The minute hand sweeps across its gauge and snaps back to zero upon completing each hour.
- Pendulum Regulation: Fine-tune operational accuracy by raising or lowering the counterweights along the pendulum arm.
- 5-Hour Continuous Runtime: Runs for up to 5 hours on a single wind, with extended duration when disengaging the piston drive.
Accessible Horology & Rewarding Build
Engineered for clockmaking enthusiasts seeking an achievable build:
- Intermediate Difficulty: Far more approachable than complex wall or tourbillon clocks while delivering deep mechanical satisfaction.
- 100% Glue-Free Build: Precision-cut composite birch parts fit snugly together without glue or hardware.
- Complete Workbench Kit: Includes sandpaper, lubricating wax, and a detailed illustrated manual in 11 languages.
